We humans, with our deep-seated pretensions to being gods, are
endlessly preoccupied with worrying and tinkering with matters of
salvation as if we were in charge of it. But we are not. God carries out
the work of salvation; not, to be sure, without our participation, but
it is God’s work done in God’s way. Eugene H. PetersonIt may feel a bit insincere to give thanks under certain circumstances, perhaps even manipulative. But we counsel and train our hearts by such steps of obedience. Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Wife of 1 and mother of 4, I've always got my head in a book or in the clouds. We live in Melbourne, where my husband teaches university students about Jesus. I love writing and teaching women about Jesus, and I once wrote a PhD on the Puritan experience of enjoyment of God. Welcome to my blog, in which I try to be honest about my sins and struggles as I reflect on getting to know God in the midst of life.
